Certified as organically produced seed by the Soil Association. GB-ORG-05.
Standard salad crop for bunching; relatively low maintenance, and some varieties are also suitable for overwintering for early lifting. Suitable for fresh market and prepack use.
240-360 seeds per gram. Germinates 5-30°C. Sow March-April for Spring crop, overwintering type July-August, pickling type mid February-March. Seed rate 15-20kg per hectare, at a population of 65-70 per metre row length.
Bulbing onions:
A popular crop - long storage lives make for a good continuity of supply. Also popular for plant sales and competition growing.
240-360 seeds per gram. Germinates between 5 and 30°C, sowing date mid February-March, Japanese (overwintering) types second or third week in August. Seed rate 4-5kg per hectare, 2.5-10 x 40-60cm spacing.
The advantages of growing onions from sets (immature bulbs), rather than from seed, are that there is: shorter time to maturity, less sensitivity to soil types and a lower incidence of pest and disease.
Approx. 180-200 bulbs per kilo of sets. Space 10cm (in row) x 25cm (between rows). Plant so that the tip of the bulb is just visible above the soil. Best results achieved from planting mid March to mid April. Planting into cold, wet ground can cause bolting so do not plant too early. Heat treatments are used to kill the flower embryo this prevents bolting in early plantings.

Petchoa F1 Caliburst Yellow (pellets) (PET700P)
Petunia F1 Shake Blueberry (pellets) (PES110P)
A compact flowering habit and a flowering speed that makes Shake ideal for packs. Great for containers, baskets, beds and landscapes. The whimsical colour combinations and patterns are a unique colour breakthrough.
Note-Star and Picotee types: Care must be taken when growing these types to avoid high temperatures, high light levels and high soil fertility, as this will increase the proportion of white. Conversely low temperatures, low light and low soil fertility will result in a decrease in the proportion of white.
Sell in: 6-packs (basket & ground cover varieties in 9-10cm pots).
End Use: Baskets, containers and borders.
Grandifloras produce fewer, but larger, flowers than the multifloras.However, flower size is not the only difference between Grandifloras and Multifloras. Multifloras generally grow faster, have more branches and flowers, hence providing more masses of colour. Other differences are smaller, thinner leaves, and flowers are usually not as ruffled or fringed. They also have greater disease resistance and weather tolerance.

Our seed potatoes are available for delivery around mid December or mid January, please specify your preferred delivery period when ordering.
Potatoes can be grown in almost any soil type, and are ideal for ‘cleaning up’ previously uncropped land. Potatoes can also be grown in containers.
Potato types:
First Earlies: chitting essential; plant mid to late March at a depth of 10cm, spaced 30cm in row and 45cm between rows; harvest as ‘new’ potatoes in June and July when the first flowers appear.
Second Earlies: chitting essential; plant early to mid April, space as per First Earlies; harvest as ‘new’ potatoes in July and August when the first flowers appear.
Salad: treat as per First Earlies.
Maincrop: chitting beneficial but not essential; plant mid to late April at a depth of 10cm, spaced 38cm in row and 68cm between rows; harvest between August and October when the foliage dies back; can be stored.
Cultivation terms:
Chitting: when delivered lay tubers out in tray with rose end (most eyes) uppermost. Keep in frost free, light room until sprouts form (normally after 6 weeks).
Earthing-up: when the haulm (foliage) is approximately 20cm tall draw up soil around stem to form a flat ridge. Earthing-up improves drainage and growing environment for the plant giving a much improved yield. Earthing-up is also essential for reducing greening.
All our tubers are produced in Scotland and are certified by DEFRA as reaching the high quality standards required to be classified as 'Certified Seed Potatoes'.
Please note that due to marketing and trade agreements not all varieties of potato can be shipped outside of the UK, please contact us for further details.
